very compelling and powerful

This was one of the most powerful and honestly overwhelming novels I have ever had the privilege of reading. The character arc and journey of the main character Frankie was so deeply compelling and heart wrenching, from wartime horrors as a nurse in Vietnam to navigating a politically war-torn world as a post-war a war vet — that no one recognizes or acknowledges — while dealing with PTSD and survivors guilt?? I found myself wanting to pull my hair out at for the lack of appreciation, recognition, and respect for the work of women in the war. I gained a whole new appreciation for not only Veterans and nurses, but for all women who work their asses off to make a difference and make the world a better place.

Additionally, I loved the story of friendship that was told. If the world was filled with trios like Barb, Ethel, and Frankie, I truly think that women could take over the world.

I loved this book and the stories it uncovered. I will cherish the lessons I learned and sing Kristin Hannah’s praises from the rooftops. I LOVED THIS BOOK.
